I Am A Reality
I am but a wish
a wisp of what once was
a vaporous visitation
a delusion wrapped in gauze
an illusion for your thoughts
the repetition of symbols
the beat that escapes your feet -
I am the sinner -
the guest who arrives
late for dinner
unlike the clone
I do stand alone
and I wait to listen
for raindrops
as they glisten
on foolish laughter
taking too many risks
for chances are -
you inspire me
even desire me
I stir the wind
as I ripple through her hair
you see my playful
breath upon the air
I am the silent strings
that whip, strip and trip
when you are unaware
I am the blip in bi-polar
the twisted thought
movie stars should be taller
I am the little fear
the jump - the start
the stilling of your heart
just before you panic
and become me -
Manic
